    Like instrumental masters Tortoise, the new Tristeza is much like the old, offering subtle variations on a pleasant theme.

  7. Splendid
    70
    Though A Colores is rather uneven, it's a compelling-- and more than competent-- effort.
  8. Prefix Magazine
    60
    Though not a particularly groundbreaking or remarkable album among post-rock instrumental compositions, A Colores is solid and has a lot of movement, the rhythms and melodies rolling tempestuously between the speaker channels.
  9. PopMatters
    50
    As good as it sounds, it simply fails to make a statement.
  10. Lost At Sea
    50
    A Colores’s most glaring failure is its reluctance to shift from the narcotic tone it so quickly assumes.
